Can't claim any credit for them as they are self seeded.
We used to have a good display on the other side of the garden, for years, then last year they didn't show, now this year they are popping up all over the place in both red and pink (lilac?) but about 30-40 feet away from where they were before.
And they are much, much taller. Old ones were only 3-4 foot tall, these are at least 4' with most about 5' and one over 6'
Amazing what nature can do if you clear the weeds
